What Anti static spray

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

What Anti static spray

Hello there trolls.
I have been cutting for 4 years with an MSS mono lathe, with myshank diamonds and blanks.
I have used various anti static sprays, mainly Staticide and my favorite Turtle wax: Wax and dry.

But you can only get Turtle wax: Wax and dry in the USA, so getting it is tricky. ( I am in the UK.)
So I emailed turtle wax company and they said the equivalent in UK is called Turtle wax: Wax it Wet.
But it's just not as good and very greasy.

What spray does anyone else use?

Best Wishes

did you have any luck with the Myshank anti-static?
I used that and it worked fine.

I started making my own out of water and a few drops of dish soap, also good.

these days I use water + 10 sprays of this:

might be worth trying any readily available laundry anti-wrinkle spray without scent

Hello
Thanks for the response. I have been trying water and dish soap and it's been working fine so far. So will stick to that for now and forget the car wax etc.

Yes I wonder how you'd analyse what's in bought anti static spray. My dad would be able to help if he was alive!
